Greens committed to ‘Ohne Gentechnik’
This corresponds to the wishes of the vast majority of consumers, and it is an indispensable basis for the successful "Ohne Gentechnik" (Non GMO) food industry. The deregulation of "new" genetic engineering such as CRISPR demanded by some Green party members received a clear thumbs-down at the party convention. Instead, it was decided by a large majority to strengthen research into risk assessment and detection methods - which is urgently needed to clarify the risks of new genetic engineering that have not yet been investigated, and to continue to guarantee labeling and GMO free food and feed. As in the party's previous resolutions, freedom of research should continue to apply to genetic engineering in the future.
